For sale - WWI&II German 9mm ammo

Kyrie · 08-13-2001, 07:28 PM

Hi Folks,

Avoid firing *all* WWII ammunition with steel cases. These cases can rust from the inside out, appear to be perfectly fine on the outside, but be so rotten that the case fails on firing. Which in turn can release very hot, and very high pressure, gas into magazine well where it then blows apart the grips. Think of it as holding a Bakelite hand grenade as it goes off :-(

Best regards,

Kyrie
